Music. In addition, a group of devoted staff at the Margaret Herrick Library, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, bore with my excessive and too often inchoate demands, with grace and great insight: Sondra Archer , Andrea Batiste, Barbara Bunting, Bob Dixon, Michael Francis, Russ Good, Sue Guldin, Barbara Hall, Mona Huntzing, Don Lee, Linda Harris Mehr, Charlie Qualls, Jenny Romero, Faye Thompson, Jonathan Wahl, and Libby Wertin. And my friend and colleague Jerry Mosher (Long Beach) has helped far beyond the call of duty. My colleagues at Rutgers University Press make the life of a bookster grand and beautiful. These are Lisa Boyajian, Marilyn Campbell, Anne Hegeman, Andrew Katz, Liz Scarpelli, and Eric Schramm, and my indefatigable and nurturing editor, Leslie Mitchner. My assistants, Ian Dahlman, Matthew Thompson, and Nick White, are the most eager of 100 percent bona fide Canadian beavers, able to track down remote sources in a single bound, and faster than a speeding text message. They have worked with great patience and care in the face of my hopeless need. Finally, to Nellie Perret and Ariel Pomerance, who love film with me, and who are, indeed, the love of my life—my thanks for unbounded support and encouragement.
